What happened to your other thread with the two questions?
I was posting a response as follows:

I agree with Sajonero, Belly and Gringo1, as to if there is racism, so what? Why always trying to gain something from posing as the underdogs? This "gimme me" attitude because you are racist is what is wrong, Dominicans are not racist at all, they might be "classist" but never racist, since mostly all Dominicans are of mixed blood with mulatto or black genes, and we certainly don't look like Aryans.
There is a modern form of classism or modern racism all over the world, for example:
1. Japanese consider themselves superior to Koreans, and they regard them as the "blacks" of the orient.
2. Russians consider themselves superior to Georgians, Ukranians and Mongolians.
3. Israelis consider themselves superior to Palestinians and all arabs.
4. Iranians consider themselves superior to Iraquis.
5. Saudi Arabians consider themselves superior to most of their Arab neighbors and all occidentals.
6. In the African continent examples are plentiful as well and too numerous to detail.
7. In Latin America Argentineans consider themselves "the master race", and the beat goes on.
8. Puerto Ricans consider themselves superior to Dominicans, although there was "reverse immigration" during the 1930's and many Puerto Ricans migrated to DR to work for agriculture and the sugar cane mills.
9.and last but not least, Haitians consider themselves superior to Dominican as they claim to be "smarter", speak more foreign languages and work harder than Dominicans, as well as have a stronger sex libido.
10. Dominicans consider themselves "better off" economically than Haitians, but that is where the comparison stops, as poverty bring poor hygiene, illiteracy, poor health and disease. But that doesn't make Dominicans racists but maybe classists to try to defend and maintain their progression in the food scale.

IF THIS THREAD GETS EVAPORATED WE MIGHT HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO THE PERSON BEHIND ALL THIS IS, BUT I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD HUNCH.

I find it funny, how in DR as is with many Dominicans like to evade, or elude and deviate from the known fact that racism does exist in DR (much like in many places around the world, sure granted). It is weird that the minute somebody tries to address the issue of racism in DR, they are crazy for it or many Dominicans start crying wolves. Yet, many of those same Dominicans cannot affirmatively answer this basic question:

• In DR, does racism exist or does not exist?

However, there is not much need to mention the "world" in that case since we are not trying to discuss "World Racism" in this argument, but rather "Dominican Racism" as this is an issue being addressed by creeds from that region. The inhabitants of the island thus in this case, the island of Hispaniola.

Most Dominicans are Black, leave the mountains sometime. Maybe 6 or so provinces look like Puerto Rico or Venezuela, but the rest of the country looks like Jamaica (which also has Mulattos)

No, Gen's right. It's mostly South Koreans going to Japan but I think they think of them as a general "Korean" ethnic group. This happens all over Eastern Asia.

Sure,

I suppose you need to take your medication as well for denials (lol). To ignore and deny that the ills from this formula above are not in great part responsible for the dynamics of the island today is fallacy in your state of mind.

Chilindrina.

Anyway, sure, the average Dominican isn't purple skinned with a humongous wide nose looking like they're straight from Africa but most are brown/yellow skinned, nappy headed and negroid like average African Americans.

Basing the DR on 6 provinces that have puny populations is ridiculous. I doubt any of you have ever been to a Dominican neighborhood or even left your shack in the mountains of El Cibao.
